What size dining room table should I buy is a good question that, unfortunately, does not have a universal answer. There are no strict proportions and no magic formula to figure out. However, choosing the right size dining table will be easier if you carefully consider several circumstantial aspects, such as your table position, your room interior, the number of people who usually dine in the room, etc. So, here we go:

Start with a spot for your set

This is the first and the most important thing while looking for any kind of furniture — finding the right spot for your new piece. The success of any interior decoration will depend on your ability to create efficient, clutter free furniture layout in the room. So, try to figure out at least a couple of positions and choose the one that leaves more open space in the room.

Make sure the shape matches your room shape

Another thing to bear in mind while trying to figure out the best dining table size for the room is their shape (both table and room). In a way, suitable shape is even more important than the actual physical dimensions. Proportional square rooms look most impressive with the same proportional square or round table models. And, consequently, rectangular rooms will mostly benefit from the same rectangular or oval tables.

Consider preferred seating capacity

Then, of course, you should carefully evaluate your optimal seating capacity. Obviously, a family of two will not need a spacious 12-seater set. If you would like to have more seating space in case your family and friends come over, you should better get yourself an extending dining table. In any case, after you figure out your seating capacity, do not forget to adjust your expectations to the actual physical space.

Do not forget about other furniture in the room

Also, remember that apart from a dining set, you will also need other furniture units in the room. While a set of table and chairs is sort of a separate interior arrangement, it still a part of your room. Once again, make sure that all units look logical together and that the interior layout remains space efficient.

Choose in favour of quality materials

Finally, no mater what size dining room table you choose, stick to quality materials. It is better to get a quality set once and keep it for decades rather than replace cheap low quality units on a regular basis.
